When I’m stuck on a chapter or I’m struggling to progress in a story, I’ll write down notes and ideas to help me get moving along. I’ll write what I had originally planned out, and when I see it down on paper, it becomes apparent as to why I struggled to progress.
My initial idea was lacking something. Either it was too generic, wasn’t exciting, or it would’ve slowed down the story more. I needed to change it or add in some ideas that would give more life to the story. In essence, when I can’t progress, I go back to the drawing board.
